I just installed Oracle database 12cR2 and am trying to startup a database.
I am trying to create a pfile from spfile using following query.
create pfile from spfile;
Then I get the following errors.
create pfile from spfile
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01565: error in identifying file '?=/dbs/spfile@.ora'
ORA-27077: too many files open
Can anybody tell me what's going on here or what I am doing wrong?

Based on that error I guess you have reached the limit of maximum open files.
You can check the soft and hard limits with
ulimit -Sn
andulimit -Hn
. Configure it in/etc/security/limits.conf
or a seperate file under/etc/security/limits.d/
. Check the list of actual open files withlsof -u oracle
(if the user running the instance isoracle
).
